To all whom t may concern;

Be it known that We7 JOHN Beirut'swoon7 THOMAS Brienmvoon7 and inwiinoBiminiwoon, subjects of the King of Great Brite-in and Ireland, andresidents of Bury7 in the county of lmneasterl Englan', have ed new andusefu improvements in l erforated Beams for Dyeing end like lipperatus,of whieh the followingr a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in the constmction of perforatedbeams or the like upon which warps are yed er subject- Such beams are soformeel and constructed that the parte which come into Contact with theWarps are of such a' nature and substance es not to be affected by theliquid used, so that no tieterioration of the yarn taires place bycontact with the beam, while these parts of the beam which Clo not corneinto Contact Wiih the yarn are cemposecl or iron or other cheap andstrong metal hereinafter referred to as iron. The substance which notaffected by the liquids is usually niclrei or nieirei al.- loy and willbe hereinafter referred to as nickeL In a known form of such beam thefianges at the ends or" the beain are formed of rings or annular 'platesof nickel, mount-ed on( an iron hub, i eensiderabie thickness of nickelhad to be useti in such ianges as they bore unsupportefi for aoonsiderable part of their areas the pressure exerted by the woundyerno, and because'when theA beam was plaoefi. sind roilecl en. a fineror other surface these niekei rianges had to support the Weight of thebenin. To enabie them4 to withstand the stresses soI pnt upon them thenichel iiangeshad to'be of considerable thickness anti Weight and werecon eequently expensive.,

invention consists in inicking up the protest-ive nickel ilenge oranequivalent eienzent or surface composed of snbstanee unaffeeteii bythe liquid useii in the preoess by a supporting strong iron iange whichextends the full dianeterof the nickel iiengeerequivaient element ersurface (hereinafter gener# ally referred to as e nichel i'iange) anti'which preferably' extentie to 'a diameter which. is' slightly greatervthan 'the iiameter the niekei flange so as toeoine into Contact withthe iioor or other surface, when the beam ihr-nge or Specificationoliet'ers atent.

facing or iining as it becomes, inay thus be very thin.

The invention also relates to a inode or means for securing the nickeliange'or i'acing to its supporting iron flange so that iiquici cannotpei'ietrate between the two. lWith the 'thin nickel fianges or :faceswhich can be 'used on a beam accorciing to this invention a veryeonsielerabie saving in oost is effected.

The accompanying drawings illustrate a beam ange eonstrueted accordingto this present invention.

Figure l shows it half in section along its axis and haii in eieiiation.Fig. 2 shows it in elevation frein the outside fase and from the insidefece respectively in its left andv right haives. Fig. 3 is a sectionalView showing a detaii of the eye or center of the iange.

is a seetional detail showing the periphery of the iiange. Fig. 5 is asectional detail ofthe periphery of a iiange illustrating' a'modification inthe means for securing the nickel flange in place. L

A indicates the iron iange formed on its outer face with a cylindricalor slightly ceneri pertion l5 which when the contents of the beam beingdyed fits upon a seat Surroiuiding the iiye inlet or outlet. The iangeef the 'uli iiaineter that yarn will be wound is ixefi.. v

C are spokes' by which the beam' is secured 'to the iooni shatorvthelike, and D indicates a seat in' which the endfof the peroraterieylintirieal shell E of' the beam is Stef eureii. in piaee, lThe'ycomplete beam coinl priser; e perforated cylindrical shell .With a iangeon eaehend. .7: f

@n the inner fece el the-liange A is a thin plate i? oniokel. It is inthe form of a ring er annulus and its inneredge is spun or vpressed overinto the grooveGr in the eye ef the iiange, and its outer edge is spunover into the groove G1 on the outer periphery @i the iron ange. Seeiigs. l, 3 and L The spinning or pressing may be sufficient to maintainiicuiri tight joints between the peripberies' of the nickel piate' andthe of liquor between the plate and the iange', or additienal means forsecuring them may be, employed. That 'partei 'the eye of the'l :flangeA, @ver which the plate F vis tiljrnedm to upon the beam to which theEinige .before it reaches the 0'roove G mai be of slightly largerdiameter than the remainder of the seat l) for the end of the shell l1),being only sufficiently larger that when the pla-te F is in place on theflange the diameter of the eye is the same from end to end `*with theexception. of the groove G. lVhen the cylindricalend -of the perforated.shell is forced in place in the seat l) the nickel is held firmlyagainst the surrounding iron.l The outer edge of the nickel plate may beadditionally secured in place in its groove by means of a wire ll whichis bound tightly around it.

In the modification shown in Fig. 5 the outer periphery of the nickelflange l1 is pressed over the periphery of the iron flange A and issecuredin place by an endless and tight fitting nickel ring l1 which isforced in place over it, and is of less diameter than the part a.

The periphery of the iron flange A may project around one face to agreater extent from its center than it does at that part which .iscovered by the nickel. plate and as shown at (L in Figs. l and Ll.lilith such a formation of .its flanges a beam would roll along a flooror other surface on the iron )arts a and the nickel carts would be ke )tL out of contact with such 'floor or surface.

lf desired the protective thin nickel flange or facing on the inner faceof the iron flange A may be otherwise applied than as described, or itmay l a replaced by other substance which is similarly `protective andresistant. For exan'iple the inner face of the iron flange .may becovered with a suitable enamel.

As another example thethin protective facing, or surface for the flangemay consist of hard rubber or ebonite. 'l`he dough may be vulcanized inplace upon the iron founda tion or sheet eoonite already vulcanized maybe applied to the face of the disk in any suitable manner. Alement maybe applied to join the hard rubber to the metal or the peripheries ofthe sheet or disk of hard rubber may be secured in place by any suitablemechanical devices. rlllie peripheries may be bent over in the manner oftheI nickel disk if they are softened in boiling water. 0r hard rubberdisks may be molded and vulcanized with bent or flanged peripheries.

W hat We claim is l. In a perforated beam for dyeing or like apparatus aflange at the end of the beam'cornprising a thin. protective facing andan iron backing for such facing, the backing being at least the fulldiameter of the facing, substantially as hereinbefore described.

2. ln a perfm'ated beam for dyeing and like apparatus a flange at theend of the beam comprising a thin protective facing and an iron backingfor such facing, the backing being of larger diameter than the facing,substantially as hereinbefore de scribed.

l. .ln a perforated beam for dyeingand like appa atus a flange at theend of the beam comprising an.iron foundation und a thin nickel coveringplate on the inner face, substantially as described.

4. ln a perforated beam for dyeing and like apparatus a [lange at theend of the beam comprising` an iron foundation and a thin nickelcovering plate the edges of which are spun or pressed into contact withthe iron foundation, substantially as hereinbefore described.

ln a perforated beam for dyeing and like apparatus a flange at the endof the beam comprising` an iron foundation and a thin nickel coveringplate of less diameter, the edges of which are pressed into contact withthe iron fouiulation, substantially as hereinbefore described.

(i. ln a perforated beam for dyeing and like apparatus, a flange at theend ofthe beam con'iprising an iron foundation and a protective coveringtherefor, the said foundation being' permanently formed on its outerface with a member-'for making a fluid tight joint to prevent access ofdye liquid and consequent deterioration 0f said foundation,substantially asdescribed.

7. A beam upon which vyarns are dyed or similarly treated, such beamhaving a perforated cylindrical part and having a strong iron flange ateach end linedv with a thin protective lining permanently so secured tothe iron foundation that the dye liquid cannot have access to the ironflange, substantially as .described 5 v t' ln witness whereof we havehereunto our hands in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. l
